Canto

 1     1|        large a boon bestow.~Ah! false and cruel Fortune! foul
 2     1| entertain~Opinion of my fame so false and vain!"~ ~ LIII~Not with
 3     1|       will, unchecked by anger, false or true,~Or sharp repulse,
 4     2|     Forego thy theft,~And down, false felon, from that pilfer'
 5     2|         the tidings vain~Of the false courier of that wizard hoar:~
 6     3|      the enchanter hoar;~Let no false pity there thy mind incline~
 7     4|     With treasons manifold, and false and tainted,~As by the good
 8     4|      loves.~ ~ LXIV~"Or true or false Geneura's tale of shame;~
 9     4|         fear to warrant what is false; but I~Boldly maintain,
10     5|         ARGUMENT~Lurcanio, by a false report abused,~Deemed by
11     5|     hoped should quit his pain,~False Polinesso, who before designed~
12     5|         ambush chose,~Under the false pretence to make him see~
13     5|        If the accuser's tale be false or true,~And she deserve,
14     5|      and is misled,~Vouches the false, and knows not 'tis a lie:~
15     5|     vouched, the warrior cried.~False Polinesso, called, with
16     5|         And proud was held, and false and fraudulent.~So that
17     5|        had schemed.~ ~ LXXXVIII~False Polinesso, with a mien distressed,~
18     6|        flying steed,~Arrives in false Alcina's empery:~There from
19     6|         And for those other two false sisters were~(So well-instructed
20     6|       informed, in part,~Of her false ways, she harm not by surprise.~
21     6|    Whether what met the eye was false or true,~Was never sight
22     7|      prompted by revenge, 'twas false and vain.~By hate and malice
23     7|         negociation,~And on the false Alcina brings such hate,~
24     7|        magic lore,~The ring the false enchantment served to clear.~
25     7|       Alcina wore,~And made all false, from head to food, appear.~
26     7|     further thought~Of love for false Alcina, found in guise~Which
27     8|        profits it that, whether false or true,~I am deemed beauteous,
28     8|        the old tale of Proteus' false or true,~(For this, in sooth,
29     9|      has a heart possess'd~This false and cruel traitor Love?
30    10|         sound.~ ~ XIX~The lover false, who, hatching treason lies,~
31    10|  together are not we~At rising? False Bireno! cursed day~That
32    10|        he had fled~In time from false Alcina, and before~To him
33    11|         sobs and sighs,~How her false spouse betrayed her as she
34    11|         and who~Had done it, -- false Bireno -- that among~All
35    11|   Friesland left no land~To the false duke, so rapid was the raid.~
36    12|     count, when taught~That the false Saracen the prize possest,~
37    13|     with the intent to slay~The false enchanter, on her plan decides,~
38    13|         more nigh,~Lest her the false magician should espy.~ ~
39    14|        the world rebel;~So that false Babel's law will have its
40    16|       he the fraud of her, more false than fair,~Only forbore
41    17|      lying tongue;~And she, the false and cunning courtezan,~Assists
42    17|      courteous king as well,~-- False Origille, -- with knight
43    17|     crew,~Left Origille and her false brother-in-law:~And when,
44    18|           Angiolin, Angelier -- false Ganellon,~And Mark and Matthew
45    18|       the pilgrim-Greek,~Who of false Origilla gives them news;~
46    20|      his side;~And then by that false necromancer stied.~ ~ CXII~
47    20|    Deceived, and cheated by the false belief~That Isabel had perished
48    20|      history,~Yet knowest it is false! Her virgin dower~Secure
49    21|       is done~Upon account of a false woman's spite;~Whose wicked
50    22|        in the thicket blind~The false enchanter wore, beholds
51    22|   wizard, that to the domain~Of false Alcina him he might convey:~
52    23|        The beauteous lady, whom false tongue had said~Was drowned,
53    23|    appaid,~Made thitherward the false Gabrina flee,~After she
54    25|   bright;~And how, with all her false semblance well content,~
55    25|         pact was made~With that false Maganzese of whom I tell;~
56    26|      prisoners, who~Were to the false Maganza to be sold.~Marphisa
57    26|         awaited by the foe;~And false and impious Bertolagi heard,~
58    26|         son~Can hold, when that false Maganzese they view;~Against
59    26|      cavalier~Had but an eye to false Maganza's train.~The brother
60    26|        the spite,~Which against false Maganza warmed the knight.~ ~
61    26|    their far-spread renown were false or true,~Resolved together
62    31|      lover's breast,~No less by false suspicion than by sure!~
63    32|     these persuasive words were false and feigned,~If famous Merlin'
64    32|         trusted? woe is me!~All false and cruel well may be esteemed,~
65    32|      esteemed,~If thou, Rogero, false and cruel be,~That I so
66    33|        is paid.~Those over whom false Fortune's wheel had rolled,~
67    33|         seed,~Whom, led by that false black into the snare,~You
68    34|         torment lay;~But, those false ingrates' curse, the darkness
69    36|          first -- "Defend thee, false Rogero!" -- cried.~"No more,
70    37|       chroniclers, men envious, false, and bad.~ ~ VII~But ye
71    39|       are mixed in fight~By her false phantoms, vanishes from
72    39|         because he still espies~False faces, hears but voices
73    41| Bertolagi's, should be slain~By false Maganza's ill and impious
74    43|     certainty!~When out of that false nurse at last he found~He
75    43| Touching no chord but yielded a false sound,~He shrewdly waits
76    44|         prisoned are by Fortune false and fell,~What friendship
77    45|       thou art;~To thee, though false and idle I give way;~And
78    45|     where, --~Oh! how true Hope false Fear shall from on high~
79    45|      the maid will claim,~Under false colours and in other's name.~ ~
80    46|        When her gates opened by false Sinon were,~And direr ill
